Re: Laptop 3 blade classic lapping hub/shaft while in water

I did not need to add additional marks. The marks have been there since before my ownership (2016). They were stamped in bronze on spinner halfs and hub. And respond to Y=B. And that is the...

Re: Laptop 3 blade classic lapping hub/shaft while in water

Re: Laptop 3 blade classic lapping hub/shaft while in water

Re: Laptop 3 blade classic lapping hub/shaft while in water
